Motivation:
Multi-omic profiling data, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas and pharmacogenomic data, facilitate research into cancer mechanisms and drug development. However, it is not easy for researchers to connect, integrate and analyze huge and heterogeneous data, which is a major obstacle to the utilization of cancer genomic data.
Results:
We developed Cancer Genome Viewer (CGV), a user-friendly web service that provides functions to integrate and visualize cancer genome data and pharmacogenomic data. Users can easily select and customize the samples to be analyzed with the pre-defined selection options for patients' clinic-pathological features from multiple datasets. Using the customized dataset, users can perform subsequent data analyses comprehensively, including gene set analysis, clustering or survival analysis. CGV also provides pre-calculated drug response scores from pharmacogenomic data, which may facilitate the discovery of new cancer targets and therapeutics.
Availability And Implementation:
CGV web service is implemented with the R Shiny application at http://cgv.sysmed.kr and the source code is freely available at https://git.sysmed.kr/sysmed_public/cgv.
Supplementary Information:
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
